sailing down the Nile in a china cup

with the recipe for a lovely day,

         B
sticking out of my back pocket.

But it wasn't always such a pretty sight,

                      G#m
we used to fight like cats and dogs

till we made it up in the ballroom.

On a carpet ride to foreign land

at the time of Davy Crokett.

But it wasn't always such a pretty sight,

                             G#m
